No business, regardless of its size, is ever problem-free. Continuous quality improvement is one way to keep businesses, including dental practices, functioning as near perfection as possible. The author discusses the value of CQI in the dental practice and outlines the principles of a CQI program.
The successful dentist of the future will establish a sustainable competitive advantage in the marketplace by recognising that patients undergoing dental treatment cannot see the result before purchase, and that they therefore look for signs of service quality to reduce uncertainty. Thus the successful dentist will implement a quality programme that recognises not only that quality is defined by meeting patients' needs and expectations, but also that quality service is fundamental to successful business strategy. Finally, the successful dentist of the future will realise that the pursuit of quality is a never-ending process which requires leadership by example.
